Caufield is playing well even playing with staal.. his feet are always in movement. Try something at least... thats easy to notice who perform well and who don’t... evans lines are good. Perry try. ... tatar. Garbage please.

He's alone. Just alone. No one is offering itself for his play. Needs to play on another line.

 

[Redux91]

I'm still stuck at bargaining lol

So is bergevin!!

 

[salbutera]

Eric Staal will surely break out of his funk after his 52 bad games. Those aren't the player he is; just bad luck. You'll see.

Staal is just waiting for OT...

 

[Rapala]

What really has Tippett done except play McDavid for 25 minutes a game and 2 minutes on every PP, like give me a break.

I think he gave them some legitimacy behind the bench. The Oilers tire fire previous to him included coaching and no doubt.

 

[Le Tricolore]

The team is built around the concept of playing not to lose, and the coach is executing this perfectly.

*looks up at scoreboard*

Hm.

 

[nhlfan9191]

KK has been awful lately but less icetime than Staal?

I haven't said anything negative about Ducharme but that's just Bergevin level bad.

I wanted to give Ducharme every chance and the benefit of the doubt of having a mess to clean up when he was hired. But his coaching has been just to awful to ignore. He will never have a chance In this league as a HC again unless Molson is cheap and won’t fire Bergevin to allow him to hire another HC.

 

[CaptainKirk]

Seriously name the players who improved under Ducharme?

My chances of a brain aneurism have greatly improved!

 

[JuicyHam]

Staal is just waiting for OT...

So he doesn't have to play

 

[eklund the clown]

Seriously if Bergevin is retained Bettman and his cronies have to step in and have Molson sell this team.Please bring back the Expos so i have something to watch besides the UFC

 

[Doc McKenna]

Hell, I haven't cared about this team in years, it's the GDT's and the laughs that all of you provide that is much more entertaining than anything habs. I do believe that if MB survives this year and is still GM that many of us will be done.

I see an extension, i am out. Sens, buffalo...ugh wings. Whatever a team that cares a tiny weeny bit about winning.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Damn you Merrill! I was pissed when I found out you became a Hab. You started off playing well, and I ended up eating crow.

 

[OnTheRun]

Erik Staal

Exactly. He went from -20 to -30 since we got him.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

cmon just win this period and lock the playoff spot

 

[austin316]

Looooooooooosers

 

[Loner]

*looks up at scoreboard*

Hm.

yep, that's the sad part, it never works

 

[Ginger Papa]

Really hoping your Boys can pull this one out and clinch for the Playoffs! Don’t want to see boring dirty Calgary any more than we have to & give your injured players time to return.




For those who need a chuckle:

Yeah your posts are more articulate tonight for some reason.

 

[dinodebino]

Encore la ligne du 21...

 

[HuGo Sham]

Bergie is an idiot, but I kind of almost feel bad for him this season. He finally has a good offseason and acquires some nice pieces and Weber regresses and gets hurt, Price regresses and gets hurt, KK regresses, Drouin quits on the team...

We're not good, but the actual potential of the team is better than what's being shown, much like 2009. That team also imploded but wasn't necessarily built badly.

Still, one decent offseason doesn't excuse the past 8 years so GTFO Bergie.

that's ALL on him, and his perpetual lack of foresight

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

So he doesn't have to play

...which is not much different than his effort right now...

Isn’t that what Dom used to do when he had loaded teams and not sporting concierge jackets?

 

[Canadienna]

Staal takes the opening faceoff...

 

[HabsQC]

A bit OT, but I'm often wondering why Carbonneau never had another shot at coaching in the NHL. I guess it's because he's an horrible communicator, but he did have 3 winning seasons. Anyone ?
